ABOUT THE NEWLIFE
FOOD BANK

Newlife Pomona Food Bank, a ministry of Newlife Pomona Church, has been a cornerstone of the Pomona community for 15 years. Our mission is simple: to provide free, nutritious groceries to families in need, helping to meet the physical needs of those we serve.

Most Fridays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, we proudly operate a drive-thru and walk-up food bank in our church parking lot.

Last year alone, we distributed over 2 million pounds of food, providing more than 1 million meals to families in need.

Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2023, we were honored to receive the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s Community Spirit Award, recognizing our commitment to service and the profound impact we've made in the community. As one of the largest food banks in Los Angeles County, we continue to grow and strengthen our reach, thanks to the generous support of volunteers, donors, and partners.

In addition to serving those in our local community, we partner with other local food pantries and organizations, extending our impact even further. We also share surplus food that we are unable to store with communities in need beyond Pomona, including in Mexico, ensuring that no food goes to waste and that we can make a difference wherever it's needed most.
